How do We Pray to God According to the Bible?

We have heard for years that there is a loving Heavenly Father who is willing to listen to us; but how do we pray to God and make our case unto His court of justice? It makes sense to do it as the Bible teaches; right?

This ancient book will guide us today in the 21st Century, to make prayers capable to touch the heart of the Heavenly Father with the Holy Spirit's unique inspiration.

With such power ready to be released, I decided to group in this page some iconic Bible verses related to this subject, and I typed in bold letters all phrases and words that are key to knowing how to pray.

Read each sentence carefully paying special attention to the highlighted words. Once you understand it, simply apply the tip to your prayer. Do it without second thoughts. Do it like a child would, with full faith.

Now get ready to reach the throne of God!

Let's learn now how to pray according to the Bible; here is the first verse...


And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive - Matthew 21:22


Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them - Mark 11:24

So He (Jesus) said to them, “When you pray, say:
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” - Luke 11:2-4


These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers - Acts 1:14


And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers - Acts 2:42


So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them - Acts 4:24


...making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you - Romans 1:10

...rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer - Romans 12:12


Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret - 1 Corinthians 14:13


...praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints - Ephesians 6:18


Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God - Philippians 4:6


Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day - 1 Timothy 5:5


I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day - 2 Timothy 1:3


...who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear - Hebrews 5:7


But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord - James 1:6-7


Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered - 1 Peter 3:7

God, I Need a Husband

God of Love,

I raise my prayer to you.

Please help me find the man whom I can love without reservations; and that he may love me the way the Bible teaches.

I do not want to waste my time with casual lovers.

God, I need a husband and I pray that...

He will be a good listener.

He will be a kind and giving person.

He will always be ready to help me when I need him.

He will never deny me his love, nor fail to his loyalty covenant.

He will be capable to forgive me when I fail, just like you forgave my sins.

He will not be a man given to affairs with other women; King Solomon failed this way and his heart was diverted from you.

He will always maintain his love constant and keep his faithful covenant with me.

He will be a gracious and compassionate husband; a man slow to anger.

He will be a man who knows how to fight in order to succeed in life.

He will always remember to show me his tenderness and affection.

He will love me so much that his love will reach to the heavens.

His love will comfort me in those difficult times in life.

His care will motivate me to keep going.

His love will last a lifetime.

His love will never end.

I will be able to trust in his love.

God, please help me to awaken my interest in all his projects and activities. I want him to know that I am her true partner in life.

Help me notice good reasons to speak well of how much he loves me.

May we live loving each other in times of abundance and scarcity.

I proclaim that...

- Only his love will satiate me.

- His love will make me sing of joy.

- I will rejoice in his love despite the anguish and sorrows in life.

- I will become a tender wife, charming and beautiful to his eyes; my love will captivate him at all times.

- I will flourish by his side while living confident in his love.

- His love for me will be better than life.

- I will enjoy the kisses of his lips more than wine.

- And together we will drink to the bottom the cup of love.

... Amen

A Prayer for Finances

God of heaven and earth,

Absolute owner of all gold and silver; I come before you today with this prayer, to invoke your help in my finances.

Lord, please multiply the product of my work so I can pay my debts, and then live with dignity.

I want to thrive in order to inherit a house and properties to my children someday.

But I am aware that good and bad times will reach everyone; so I need you!

I need intelligence and means to study on how to manage and invest.

Help me be smart and prudent in all entrepreneurship.

Give me wisdom to know even when it's time to reject money and goods to avoid the curses that they could bring me.

With this prayer for money blessing, I ask you please grant me the ability to do honest business that will never dishonor you.

I want to be a good servant of yours, capable of producing double the average.

I want to be efficient in all endeavors; that you may have the confidence to give me even more than you initially trusted me.

I prefer to live under the shadow of your wisdom than under the shadow of money; only your wisdom will give me life.

I will not depend upon money as you taught to your disciples.

I do not want to behave like a flatterer, nor make excuses to get money from others.

Help me to...

- Never make the mistake of loving money because it never satiates.

- Understand that money is not my friend.

- Understand that the love of money is the root of all evil.

And those who covet money are diverted from you, causing many evils to themselves.

Keep me from preferring money more than you oh God. Judas betrayed you for 30 pieces of silver.

Keep me from the bad reputation of being known as someone who loves money.

Instead, I will use my money to restore and repair the temple where your name is worshiped; and you will be exalted in the midst of society.

God, I promise you that...

- I will keep myself free from the love of money and be content with what I have; because you say oh God "I will never leave you nor forsake you".

- If by mistake I receive more money than I should while doing business, I will return it.

- If I lend money to any of your people, to my sisters or brothers; I will not treat them as lenders would. I will not charge them interest.

- If I have employed laborers, I will always pay them at the end of each day. I do not want them to go crying to you against me and be convicted of sin.

I will...

- Never accept money to hurt people; much less to your people Israel.

- Not accept ill-gotten money because I know that it will soon end.

- Not accept bribes of any kind.

- Not err using money to bribe judges and authorities.

- Not prostitute my body nor will obtain profits from prostitution; much less give you offerings out of those gains.

Everything you have already given me and even what you plan on giving me, I will care with faithfulness.

Please help me to organize my finances; I want to be able to set aside a portion to share with others.

I want to be like you Lord, a multiplier that satiated the hunger of the crowds.

I want to be a helper to others; there shall be no needy in my community.

I will serve people with love and not for money.

I will no longer be haughty saying that I will do business and will earn lots of money; Now I humbly say, "God willing, I will succeed!"

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.

A Prayer for a Wife

Great God of love, today I humbly approach your throne to ask for your help.

I searched for the right woman to become my partner in life, but I have not found her.

I know that you are the only God who knows everyone, and you know who will be the perfect wife for me; a virtuous woman.

This situation is causing affliction and anguish in my soul.

Lord God, I make this prayer asking for your help. I acknowledge that I know nothing of true love, although I may have it in front of me. Please listen to me.

Lead me to her just like you helped Isaac to find Rebekah, and later Jacob to meet Rachel.

But then again I understand that I need to act like a man behaving according to your image, in order to receive your blessing.

I am praying for a wife and I promise you God, that in the meantime I will not have casual affairs with other women. I know they will divert my heart away from my wife.

All those teasing me now because I am single, let them be ashamed of their words when they see the woman you chose for me.

When I finally meet her, I will make my love for her to reach the sky and my faithfulness up to the high clouds.

My kisses will satisfy her, and my love more than any other pleasure in life.

My love for her will always be constant and my covenant will remain faithful.

My love will accompany her and will endure all the way.

She will trust in me.

I will...

- always remember to show her tenderness.

- be a husband who is always willing to forgive.

- be gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love.

God, with your help I want to be a brave man that she can respect.

I want to be like you Jesus, to be the first to help when she needs it.

Because I will love her, I will not give her my back, but I will listen to her.

I want to learn to love her in such a way that she will talk to everyone about my love for her.

Help us grow a stable love, practicing forgiveness and eliminating mutual offenses.

I would rather eat vegetables spiced with love to a selection of meats with hatred.

When we form a family, help me guide it with wisdom and love.

If we had to live through difficult times, help us never split up from each other.

Although I am not a perfect man, I pray that she will never hate me. Lead her to cover my faults with love.

I bless her so that she will become:

- a wife who cares and supports me in my work, projects and ventures.

- like an olive tree that is flourishing because she trusts in my love forever.

- a loving and lovely woman; so that her beauty and her love will always be enough for me.


I pray that she will...

- never deny me her love and faithfulness.

- display an inexhaustible love towards our union.

I declare that only her love will satisfy me at all times.

And together we will enjoy the delights of love forever.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.
